Beatriz back in for Miami, could mark the second time IndyCar will have five women competing in one race


Beatriz back in for Miami , could mark the second time IndyCar will have five women competing in one race.

Ana Beatriz will make her fourth IZOD IndyCar Series start of the season for Dreyer & Reinbold Racing in the Cafes do Brasil Indy 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
She will drive the No. 24 Roll Coater entry for the 200-lap season finale on the 1.5-mile oval. It will be her third start on an oval.
"With it being the final race of the season, we felt that Ana was the perfect choice," team co-owner Dennis Reinbold said. "We are excited about having her back with the team. She did a great job for us in Brazil, Indianapolis, and Chicago. Ana has really shown us her talent and motivation."
The Brazilian driver made her IZOD IndyCar debut at her home race in Sao Paulo in mid-March, advancing nine positions to finish 13th on the street course. She finished 21st in the Indy 500 and 24th at Chicagoland Speedway.
Along with Beatriz, females Danica Patrick, Milke Duno, Sarah Fisher, and hopefully Simona De Silverstro will be entered into the seasons last race.
